Need for Speed: Most Wanted Xbox

As well as taking part in races and improving your car's performance in line with an ever growing 'rep', EA have re-introduced a theme from an earlier incarnation of the long running series - police pursuit. For that matter, fleeing the cops has been a recurring them in videogames over the years. EA has really gone to town here, though, and you get to watch as your notoriety moves you up the police 'most wanted' list, as the dogged coppers try ever more complicated ruses in their attempts to snare you. Like NFS:U2, you get a massive world to roam, plenty of real cars to choose from, and a wealth of tuning options. But this time around, you might not just change your appearance for the purposes of pimping - it might be so the watchful rozzers don't recognise you. EA does try to push all the right buttons - some would argue a little too hard - but all the same, here's a respectable package to experiment with if that's what you're after.
